A ※1Sweltering Summer
Climate change is raising temperatures around the world, both on land and in the sea. Scientists
have been warning society about global warming --- which is caused by pollution from factories,vehicles, and other sources --- for many years. Despite their serious words, however, human societies
have continued to burn ※2fossil fuels, causing ( 16 ) around the world to rise. Last year, there wasevidence that global warming had entered a new stage with temperatures rising and environmental
emergencies taking place on several continents.
The summer of 2023 was one of the hottest on record in the northern ※3hemisphere, with cities
in Europe, North America, and Asia experiencing ※4extreme heat and temperatures in some cities(17) rising to dangerous levels. In the United States, the National Weather Service reported that cities
including Tampa, Florida, recorded temperatures near their highest levels. Parts of Canada likeQuebec ( 18 ) records for daytime ※5highs in July, while Beijing in China experienced nine straightdays of temperatures higher than 35 degrees in the same month. These extreme temperatures are aserious threat to human health and well-being and almost all scientists agree that they have beencaused by ※6decades of climate change.
Researchers have been worried about rising temperatures since the 1970s and in the past decadethe ※7effects of global warming are being felt strongly around the world. Pollution from burning fossil
fuels has created a thicker blanket of CO2 (19) the earth, causing temperatures on every

continent to rise. Although societies around the world have made efforts to reduce their ※8dependence
on fossil fuels, the increase in temperatures that climate change has caused is not likely to bereversed. Countries and their citizens will need to find ways of coping with the hot planet and※9reduce the risk to human life --- especially during the summer months.
Rising summer temperatures in cities across the northern hemisphere provide clear evidence
that global warming has come to stay. While (20) it may not be possible to reduce high summertime
temperatures, we can cut back dramatically on our use of fossil fuels to prevent them from rising evenfurther and turning our cities into danger zones for several months of each year. By taking quickaction, the world may be able to survive high temperatures in the future while preventing global
warming from getting even worse.

<Part 2> 次の文章を読んで後の問に答えなさい。
The Cost-of-Living Crisis
Prices are rising rapidly in countries around the world, with citizens ※1struggling to ※2afford
food, electricity prices, and other basic items. ( 23 ) Inflation, which is the increase in prices over acertain period of time, has been especially high in almost every country. The cost of living crisis began
in 2022 and has become worse over the past year as inflation causes the food and daily items we rely
on to become more ( 24 ). However, some countries have ※3managed to control inflation and prices
and stop prices from rising too fast.
The cost of living has increased in most countries, but some nations experienced a sharp rise in
the price of food --- also known as food inflation. In the UK, food inflation reached 19.2% in early 2023
while the United States saw prices rise by 11.4% in the previous year. In Japan, food inflation stoodat 8.7% in the first three months of 2023. Families whose income has increased a lot over the past
two years may be able to live ( 25 ) in the present situation, but others are struggling to afford
their expenses.
There is an exception to the trend of rising food prices around the world. In Switzerland, thegovernment took quick action when prices began to increase, placing a limit on the price of food. As aresult, the cost of living has not increased significantly over the past two years. Food items increased
in price by just 4% in 2022. By taking wise actions, the government of Switzerland was able to keep
food prices from rising sharply, helping its citizens to afford the basic necessities of daily life.
In general, the past two years have been a difficult time for families around the world as prices
rise rapidly. In order to deal with this problem, governments should take quick action and pass laws
to prevent the cost of food and energy from increasing ※4dramatically. Companies will also need to
pay their workers more so that they can afford to buy food for their families and pay their householdcost during these times.

struggle to：～しようと奮闘する※1

manage to：どうにか～する※3

afford：～を買う［支払う］余裕がある※2

dramatically：劇的に※423. (23)の内容を本文ではどのように説明しているか、日本語で答えなさい。

Recently, the number of floods and heavy rain has been increasing incountries around the world. Many countries are trying to find a way to makepeople’s homes safer as floods increase, and the people of the Manobo
community in the Philippines may have the answer: floating homes. The
Southern Philippines is a very wet area - in fact, most of the homes in thesmall towns there use rivers for transportation instead of roads. Most of theManobo people get around by using wooden boats, and they also use theirboat building skills to make houses that won’t collapse during a flood.
The homes in the Southern Philippines are built on wooden poles. Theirfoundations are light and able to float on the water like boats. As a result,when it rains heavily and the yearly floods begin, the homes simply float on
the river and aren’t damaged very much. Scientists and engineers fromaround the world are studying these homes to find a way to protect
communities in other countries from floods and heavy rainstorms.
